    Nah, the cops will protect the material wealth with fascist zeal and it's trivial for someone this connected (read: with wealthy parents) to find some guy to manage their finances well enough. It's not stressful or difficult to be rich.

      Yeah, that is mostly just coping. But I do think that when you get rich enough to bend light around you, life starts to get worse in many ways.

      Zuckerberg and Bezos, for instance, have a full security team in the room with them when they are having meetings inside their own company. Because they can't trust their own fucking employees to not stab their eyes out with a pencil.

      I don't know, maybe they eventually get used to it. But I imagine that it takes a toll on you, leaving a meeting in the building that you own followed by 10 bodyguards, passing the bullet-proof glass into your office then closing the blast-resistant door behind you.
